Aster Narayanadri Hospital organized a special sports meet for individuals who underwent Knee Joint Replacement (TKR) surgery in the past year. The event was aimed at promoting awareness about knee health and rehabilitation, as well as showcasing the recovery progress of patients post-surgery.
According to recent statistics, 30% of patients consulting orthopedic doctors report knee pain as their primary concern. While a significant portion of these patients are over the age of 60, it is noteworthy that younger patients are also increasingly seeking treatment for knee issues.
Dr. Sunanda Kumar Reddy, Senior Orthopedic Specialist at Aster Narayanadri Hospital, emphasized that not every individual with knee pain requires surgery. "Surgery is necessary only for those suffering from persistent pain that disrupts daily life, such as difficulty sleeping or the constant need for pain medication," he explained. For others, following medical advice and regular exercise can help manage symptoms.
Dr. Sunanda Kumar Reddy further noted that this sports meet would help dispel misconceptions and doubts about knee replacement surgery (TKR) and highlight the importance of post-operative rehabilitation. He encouraged participants to remain active with daily exercises to ensure long-term success and prevent further bone deterioration. Patients who maintain an active lifestyle after surgery tend to experience a longer, more effective use of their knee replacement.
During the event, several patients shared their personal journeys—discussing the challenges they faced before surgery and the positive changes they've experienced since undergoing the procedure at Aster Narayanadri Hospital. Their stories offered valuable insights into the life-transforming benefits of knee replacement surgery.
Dr. Sridhar Muni, Chief Operating Officer of Aster Narayanadri Hospital, shared the hospital’s commitment to providing the highest standards of medical care. "We are dedicated to delivering top-quality healthcare and adhering to the highest medical standards in every treatment. At Aster Narayanadri Hospital, we focus on addressing each patient’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the best care possible," he said.
Aster Narayanadri Hospital continues to innovate in the field of orthopedic care, empowering patients with the knowledge and resources needed to recover and lead active, fulfilling lives after knee replacement surgery.
